Too Much Information

A space for cross-generational conversation, learning, and collaboration.

Too Much Information (TMI) is a symposium-style event that brings together Bay Area creatives from different stages of life and artistic development.

Each event consists of conversations, presentations, and screenings presented by an intergenerational mix of creative voices aimed at nurturing a more robust, thoughtful, and healthy creative community.

As a program, TMI creates space and opportunity for our local youth to join the “real world” in a way that honors their personhood and unique contribution to our human story.

It is a space where everyone who enters is both student and teacher, and where knowledge and wisdom come from relationships based on mutual learning, teaching, and daring.

For now, TMI takes place twice a year: in the spring and in the fall.

Without children and old people mixing in daily life a community has no future and no past, only a continuous present

— John Taylor Gatto

Information lives in book, knowledge lives in people.

There can be no living art without a living community.

— Pascal Gielen
